Raylan: A Novel [Paperback]

“Elmore Leonard can write circles around almost anybody active in the crime novel today.”
—New York Times Book Review

With more than forty novels to his credit and still going strong, the legendary Elmore Leonard has well earned the title, “America’s greatest crime writer” (Newsweek). And U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Pronto,Riding the Rap,Fire in the Hole) is one of Leonard’s most popular creations, thanks in part to the phenomenal success of the hit TV series “Justified.” Leonard’sRaylanshines a spotlight once again on the dedicated, if somewhat trigger-happy lawman, this time in his familiar but not particularly cozy milieu of Harlan County, Kentucky, where the drug dealing Crowe brothers are branching out into the human body parts business. Suspenseful, darkly wry and riveting, and crackling with Leonard’s trademark electric dialogue,Raylanis prime Grand Master Leonard as you have always loved him and always will.

The reveredNew York Timesbestselling author, recognized as America's greatest crime writer (Newsweek), brings back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the laconic, Stetson-wearing, fast-drawing lawman ofPronto, Riding the Rap,and the hit FX seriesJustifiedin this dark and droll page-turner filled with the sparkling dialogue and sly suspense that are the hallmarks of this modern master.

[Elmore Leonard] has created his own fictional world that we are privileged to visit now and then....
